Arguments and Discussions On Use of Perso-Arabic
In almost all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have been discussions between parties about replacing it, often raising the concept of romanization. For example:
- Tajikistan has implemented a Cyrillic alphabet instead of Perso-Arabic
- Turkish people have chosen a Latin-Based Turkish alphabet, in part because the eight vowels of Turkish were ambiguously represented by only three symbols
- Azerbaijan and Uzbek implemented Cyrillic, but have since switched to Latin alphabets.
- In Iran, methods of romanizations like desphilic and Unipers have been invented.
- Kurdish language has utilized a Kurdish Latin alphabet

Famous quotes containing the words arguments and/or discussions:
“Through Plato Aristotle came to believe in God, but Plato never attempted to prove His reality. Aristotle had to do so. Plato contemplated Him; Aristotle produced arguments to demonstrate Him. Plato never defined Him, but Aristotle thought God through logically and concluded with entire satisfaction to himself that He was the Unmoved Mover.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
“If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you won’t be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ironizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
